Symptoms and Complications
Liver cancer can go undetected for quite a while before there are any indications
that something might be wrong. Most of the symptoms are a result of liver
damage. They include:
- ascites - an accumulation of fluid around the liver and intestines
- jaundice - yellowing
of the skin and whites of the eye
- fever
- fatigue
- weakness
- nausea
- abdominal pain
- loss of appetite
- weight loss
- confusion
- pain in the back or abdomen or around the right shoulder blade
- a hard lump just below the rib cage
- dark-colored urine
- clay-colored bowel movements
- internal bleeding
